Sparrowhawk in garden

 I know it is a predator but it was an unexpected delight to see a male Sparrowhawk spend more than a fleeting visit in the garden recently.   It meant he could be photographed!   There are some fluffy rust coloured feathers on his chest which has left me wondering if it is a juvenile, enhanced by a gentle breeze.   It could have chosen to rest on a handle of the less rusty wheelbarrow!
